Apparently, there's a lose-a-pound-a-day-diet people are willing to spend a lot of money for while jeopardizing their health. It sounds like medically supervised anorexia to me.The regimen combines daily injections with a near-starvation diet, and patients, mostly women, are often enticed by promises that they can lose about a pound a day without feeling hungry. Perhaps even more seductively, they are frequently told that the hCG will prompt their bodies to carry away and metabolize fat that has been stored where they least want it — in their upper arms, bellies and thighs.
